    Either he was anticipating Javy getting the green light and was taking the extra base or he intentionally got in a run down to see if Javy would score.

    Are you still being serious? wtf I'm half serious and half joking. In the slums of Cuba, firing off half a clip in your garage to prove a point probably isn't THAT rare. DOES THAT MAKE IT ACCEPTABLE?

    Love the White Sox board's reaction. Earlier: Watch how the Cubune is going to gloss over the whole DV situation unlike what they did when we signed Wil Cordero Later: Well there's one article. And oh Haugh is taking them to task. And Mike Greenberg is chiming in too. Now (actual post): Chapman's domestic incident is getting a lot of play in the Chicago media -- more than I suspected. Yes, there is a double standard of media coverage between Cubs and Sox, but never underestimate the capacity of the media to generate a narrative-constructing feeding frenzy on an emotionally charged topic.

    That honestly depends your upbringing. shooting blanks is okay draw the line at actual bullets As long as shes fearing for her life am i right?

    Technically he was #4 going into the season (and a top 100 prospect in baseball), but yeah has fallen off quite a bit That was 2015, after the 2014 season. Mckinney was 7th on BA's Top 10 going into this season and fell out of the Top 100 after 2015. Sickels had him as high as 3rd in January. (Which is stupid I know especially considering who was 4th, but just showing the disparity on his ranking) http://www.minorleagueball.com/2016/1/20/10762082/chicago-cubs-top-20-prospects-for-2016

    I know right? So what if he was so angry he went into his garage and fired his shotgun 8 times to scare the [expletive] out of her, there are no marks on her! I'm not defending what he did, I just find it unfair to label him the way he's been labeled based on what we know. People are making it seem like he nearly killed someone. What he did was wrong and bat [expletive] crazy, no doubt about it. Too much alcohol can make good people do bad things. I just don't know if that makes him a 100% evil person, but I don't know enough. I'll take a self-imposed break from the board, I hope you all will find it in your hearts to give me a second chance. Sorry I cannot dismiss firing a shotgun off to intimidate something you're fighting with as something drunk people just do sometimes. I completely believe in second chances, but I also completely believe that if you do something so dumb and so violent it is a cross you should have to bear for a good while. It doesn't get erased from your record after 8 months because you apologized a couple of times.

    That might have been a Cubs condition, but Chapman had no incentive to agree to it. He never asked to be traded and from what I've read liked playing with the Yankees even if they weren't going to the postseason. Even if he was looking to finish the season with a contender, he could have said no to the condition because he didn't want to bring more attention to the situation or was put off that he was asked to do something highly unusual. His incentive was to show he was willing to play nice with teams still unsure about how to deal with guys in this situation. It's going to be that much easier for his next team to justify signing him when they can point to formal apologies (especially when people somehow eat them up as going beyond what was required of him). valid point

    I know right? So what if he was so angry he went into his garage and fired his shotgun 8 times to scare the horsefeathers out of her, there are no marks on her! Who doesn't use gunshots in the general vicinity of a loved one in order to intimidate them?

    It depends, Happ is more polished, closer to the majors and plays a premium position. But I think Eloy's ceiling is much higher.
